About this property

Sandbridge water lovers retreat with beach, pool, canal, and lakes to explore.


"Honu Cove” is named for the majestic cove in Kauai, Hawaii. The motto there is "This is the first day of your life”. Perfect mantra for your family as you make memories that will last a lifetime while relaxing and enjoying the natural setting of Sandbridge Beach. The beautifully and fully renovated waterfront beach home is located on the prestigious north end of Sandbridge, a short 5 minute walk to the beach, and with RARE direct access to beautiful Crystal Lake and Lake Tecumseh. The open concept great room, kitchen with expansive island and dining room give you plenty of space for the whole family, or multiple families. Granite countertops and hardwood along with the tasteful appointments make this a great spot for any family with discriminating taste. Three master bedrooms each with en suite, two king and one queen, along with a queen bedroom, double bunkbed room, and sofa bed make this a perfect multigenerational vacation spot! The screen porch off the great room as well as multiple decks offer both sun and shade to meet the varied needs of your family. The outdoor shower makes clean up after going to the beach a breeze for all. The private lagune style pool complete with waterfall looking into the canals off Back Bay gives a serene mood for your week at the beach. 2 person kayak and row boat are offered to guests at no charge for exploring the canals and nearby lakes to see a variety of wildlife or for fishing. Kids will love to fish off the dock or swim in the pool while adults enjoy the pool table. Also provided at no charge are 4 adult beach cruiser bikes, 2 surf boards, multiple boogie boards, a beach umbrella, beach chairs, and a cart to get your belongings to the beach, so there is something for everyone at Hone Cove!

Long Weekend
The house was amazing, the pictures do not do it justice. The location was great, it was far away from the hustle and bustle of towns but yet close enough so you don't have to drive forever to find someplace to shop or eat. The walk to the beach was short. My family loved that we were on the canal and could row to the lake. We will definitely considered this for our next Easter/Spring break trip!

Birthday weekend fun!
First time in VA beach ever and it was for my birthday weekend. Despite not having the best weather, we had a blast! The house was even nicer in person and that’s saying something because the pictures were great. It was like our own private paradise. The owner Greg was awesome and laid back. We didn’t have to reach out to him during our stays but when we had previously communicated, he was quick to respond. I would love to go back when the weather is nicer and we can use the pool and enjoy the boat & kayak more! Overall, a great stay!

Great Quiet Location
We stayed here for a small family gathering to host a bridal luncheon. Greg was easy to communicate with and stopped by to make sure we had what we needed and give us extra info on places to go, kayaking the canal and walking to the beach. House was very clean and well stocked even with baking items like cupcake pan and juicers. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the beach, but we really enjoyed sitting out back and watching the turtles in the canal. A spiral staircase connects the floors but a wide outdoor staircase up to the second floor right to the kitchen was convenient for carrying everything in. The screened in porch was great with comfortable furniture! Greg was flexible with check in and out times which was wonderful. I would definitely stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Owens

Host profile image
I grew up in Oklahoma and my wife grew up in Maryland both loving the water no matter if it was ocean, river, lake, or pool. We have always thought of Sandbridge as that special place to get away from it all yet keep every family member happy with various activities and wanted to share all of this with others on their vacation.

Why they chose this property

In addition to the local attractions, Honu Cove offers RARE direct access to Crystal Lake and Lake Tecumseh via the canal behind the house for excellent fresh water fishing. We provide both a canoe and jonboat so exploring is fun, convenient, and without additional expense. Honu Cove offers more than just a beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

The north end of Sandbridge is a very quiet family friendly seaside village for a relaxing and slow paced vacation. Watching dolphin pods swim past, ghost crabs crawl on the beach, and various birds fly overhead is a daily occurrence when at the beach. Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located at the south end of Sandbridge and contains over 9,200 acres of beach, dunes, woodland, and marsh. Tram tours leave from the Visitor Center and take you on a guided tour through the refuge and into False Cape State Park. A fishing pier is located at Little Island Park to enjoy the view or fish in the ocean. If you wish to explore beyond Sandbridge, you are within a 25 minute drive to Virginia Beach attractions such as the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Museum, Ocean Breeze Waterpark, Motorworld Thrill Park, Hunt Club Farm Petting Zoo and the Virginia Beach boardwalk with water sports, shops, and restaurants. Additional attractions include the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, outlets in Norfolk, Colonial Williamsburg, and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.
